“But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5 (NASB)
It is more than 2000 years now since Jesus was born. Before He was born many people had lived and died here on earth. We have a promise from the Bible in today's verse which reminds us about the timing of the birth of Jesus. God had sent an angel to Mary to tell her about His plans. He also arranged for the official order from the Roman emperor for a census so that Joseph and Mary, living in Nazareth, would be in right place, in Bethlehem, for the right time of the birth. This was all in accord with the prophecies given centuries before. Our verse today tells us that Jesus came when the time had fully come for Him to be born, the time which our God had chosen. The circumstances and time was exactly as God ordained in order for Him to carry out His plan to bring us who believe into His family. It is by faith in what God did for us that we have been adopted into His family. God picked the day and the hour and now, He calls us to Himself to be His sons and daughters.
